FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§302.304, 302.440, 302.525 & 302.574 – Intoxication-Related Traffic Offenses
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
Administrative Impact
Driver License Bureau
The Department currently requires the ignition interlock for any second or subsequent
intoxicated-related enforcement contact (administrative and point accumulation actions) added to
a driver’s record. This includes Administrative Alcohol suspensions and revocations; chemical
refusals; point suspensions, and revocations; and any limited or restricted driving privileges
granted to these offenders.
This legislation is requiring the Department to add the ignition interlock device (IID)
requirement to any person with a blood alcohol content .15% or more for a first time offense.
This proposed legislation would require programming to the current Missouri driver license
system, internally referred to as FUSION, to evaluate both administrative actions and convictions
processed by the department and add the ignition interlock requirement to those actions even if
there is not a prior alcohol-related enforcement contact to the drivers’ record if the blood alcohol
content is .15% or more.
This language is changing requirements for all restricted driving privileges (RDP) to have the
ignition interlock installed before these privileges are issued. Currently, a sixty-day restricted
privilege is issued without the ignition interlock requirement for first time offenders and are
automatically generated systematically without the driver having to request one from the
department. This would require multiple additions to existing MODL evaluation routines that
exist today. This would also require the Department to revise all correspondence that is
generated to the driver and notices issued roadside by law enforcement.
In FY 2024, the department issued 2,553 sixty-day RDP’s for first time offenders.
DOR records indicate that 13,125 records currently require the installation of an ignition
interlock device for reinstatement monitoring or to comply with a court order.
In FY 2024, DOR received 4,747 administrative alcohol cases that showed a blood alcohol
content (BAC) of .15% or more as a first-time offense. L.R. No. 0472H.02C
Bill No. HCS for HB 117
Page 4 of
February 2, 2025
DD:LR:OD
Passage of this bill will add IID requirements and monitoring to approximately 7,300 additional
records.
Ignition interlock manufacturers are required by State Code of Regulations, 7 CSR 60-2, to
submit all device status’ (installs, de-installs, and failure to maintain) and certification of
completion of the monitoring period. The Department anticipates an increase of telephone
inquiries, correspondence, and additional communications required between their office and the
ignition interlock manufacturers to ensure the integrity of the data and meet the current
department auditing processes. The department already answers approximately 32,000 calls a
year regarding reinstatement requirements. The Department anticipates a significant increase in
calls due to this proposed language.
The impact to the Department is estimating a 50% increase in call volume; therefore, DOR is
requesting one FTE to answer these additional telephone inquiries. If the increase is more
significant than anticipated, additional FTE may be requested through the appropriations process.
Telephone Inquiries
A telephone operator is expected to process 60 telephone inquiries daily.
32,000 Current call volume for reinstatement requirements
x 50% Percent which will generate telephone inquiries

/ 252 Work days per year
63 Telephone inquiries received per day
/ 60 Telephone inquiries processed per day
1.05 1 FTE needed to answer telephone inquiries
Total of one (1) Customer Service Representative ($3,536 month)
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will:
• Complete programming and user acceptance testing of FUSION for the new evaluation for
ignition interlock requirement for first time offenders based on .15% BAC or higher;
• Evaluate conviction routines;
• Update interactive applications for automated responses to customers through telephone system
(current vendor Genesys) or online (DORA);
• Update the Department website;
• Update forms, correspondence and procedures;
• Update the Missouri Driver Guide; and
• Provide training to team members L.R. No. 0472H.02C

§§569.170 and 569.175 – Offenses involving motor vehicles
In response to a previous version, officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) stated
this proposal modifies and establishes offenses involving motor vehicles.
Section 569.170 expands the offense of burglary 2nd degree by creating a new class D felony
when a person unlawfully enters into a motor vehicle with the intent to commit any felony or
theft and a new class C felony when a burglary is committed with the possession of a firearm.
Section 569.175 creates the offense of unlawfully gaining entry into motor vehicles with the
penalty of a class E felony.
For each new nonviolent class D felony, the department estimates three people could be
sentenced to prison and five to probation. The average sentence for a nonviolent class D felony
offense is 5 years, of which 2.8 years will be served in prison with 1.7 years to first release. The
remaining 2.2 years will be on parole. Probation sentences will be 3 years.
The cumulative impact on the department is estimated to be 8 additional offenders in prison and
16 additional offenders on field supervision by FY 2028. L.R. No. 0472H.02C
Bill No. HCS for HB 117

DD:LR:OD
For each new class C felony, the department estimates four people could be sentenced to prison
and six to probation. The average sentence for a class C felony offense is 6.9 years, of which 3.7
years will be served in prison with 2.1 years to first release. The remaining 3.2 years will be on
parole. Probation sentences will be 3 years.
The cumulative impact on the department is estimated to be 15 additional offenders in prison and
19 additional offenders on field supervision by FY 2029.
For each new violent class E felony, the department estimates two people will be sentenced to
prison and one to probation. The average sentence for a violent class E felony offense is 4 years,
of which 3 years will be served in prison with 2.2 years to first release. The remaining 1.0 year
will be on parole. Probation sentences will be 4 years.

If this impact statement has changed from statements submitted in previous years, it could be due
to an increase/decrease in the number of offenders, a change in the cost per day for institutional
offenders, and/or an increase in staff salaries.
If the projected impact of legislation is less than 1,500 offenders added to or subtracted from the
department’s institutional caseload, the marginal cost of incarceration will be utilized. This cost
of incarceration is $28.73 per day or an annual cost of $10,485 per offender and includes such
costs as medical, food, and operational E&E. However, if the projected impact of legislation is
1,500 or more offenders added or removed to the department’s institutional caseload, the full
cost of incarceration will be used, which includes fixed costs. This cost is $100.25 per day or an
annual cost of $36,591 per offender and includes personal services, all institutional E&E,
medical and mental health, fringe, and miscellaneous expenses. None of these costs include
construction to increase institutional capacity.
DOC’s cost of probation or parole is determined by the number of P&P Officer II positions that
are needed to cover its caseload. The DOC average district caseload across the state is 51
offender cases per officer. An increase/decrease of 51 cases would result in a cost/cost avoidance
equal to the salary, fringe, and equipment and expenses of one P&P Officer II.
Increases/decreases smaller than 51 offender cases are assumed to be absorbable.
In instances where the proposed legislation would only affect a specific caseload, such as sex
offenders, the DOC will use the average caseload figure for that specific type of offender to
calculate cost increases/decreases.
Oversight does not have any information contrary to that provided by DOC. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect DOC’s impact for fiscal note purposes. L.R. No. 0472H.02C
Bill No. HCS for HB 117

In response to a previous version, officials from the Office of the State Public Defender (SPD)
stated per the National Public Defense Workload Study, the new charge contemplated by the
changes to Sections 569.170 and 569.175 would take approximately thirty-five hours of SPD
work for reasonably effective representation. If one hundred cases were filed under this section
in a fiscal year, representation would result in a need for an additional one to two attorneys.
Because the number of cases that will be filed under this statute is unknown, the exact additional
number of attorneys necessary is unknown. Each case would also result in unknown increased
costs in the need for core staff, travel, and litigation expenses.
Oversight assumes this proposal will not create the number of new cases required to request
additional FTE for the SPD and that the SPD can absorb the additional caseload required by this
proposal with current staff and resources. Therefore, Oversight will reflect no fiscal impact to the
SPD for fiscal note purposes. However, if multiple bills pass which require additional staffing
and duties, the SPD may request funding through the appropriation process.
Officials from the Office of Attorney General (AGO)
arising from this proposal can be absorbed with existing resources. However, the AGO may seek
additional appropriations if the proposal results in a significant increase in litigation or
investigation.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight assumes the
AGO will be able to perform any additional duties required by this proposal with current staff
and resources and will reflect no fiscal impact to the AGO for fiscal note purposes.
Officials from the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (MOPS) assume the proposal will
have no measurable fiscal impact on MOPS. The enactment of new crimes [569.170 and
569.175] create additional responsibilities for county prosecutors and the circuit attorney which
may, in turn, result in additional costs, which are difficult to determine.
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol and the Missouri
Department of Transportation each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their
respective organizations.
In response to a previous version, officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator
assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero
impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. L.R. No. 0472H.02C

302.574)
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
INTOXICATON-RELATED TRAFFIC OFFENSES (Sections 302.304, 302.440, 302.525 and
302.574)
Currently, a person who has had his or her driver's license suspended or revoked because of an
assessment of points for an intoxication-related traffic offense conviction and who has a prior
alcohol-related enforcement contact must show proof to the Director of Revenue that any motor
vehicle driven by the person has a certified ignition interlock device installed, and the ignition
interlock device must be installed for at least six months.
Under this bill, the requirement applies only to a person who has an intoxication-related traffic
offense conviction in which the person's blood alcohol content was at least .08 but less than .15
and who has a prior alcohol-related enforcement contact or to a person who has an assessment of
points for an intoxication-related traffic offense conviction in which the person's blood alcohol
content was found to be .15 or more.
The bill also prohibits restricted driving privileges to be issued to any person whose driving
record shows an intoxication-related traffic offense in which the person's blood alcohol content
was found to be .15 or more, until the person files proof with the Department of Revenue that
any motor vehicle operated by the person is equipped with a functioning, certified ignition
interlock device.
OFFENSES INVOLVING MOTOR VEHICLES (Sections 569.170 and 569.175)
This bill adds to the offense of burglary in the second degree when a person unlawfully enters a
motor vehicle or any part of a motor vehicle with the intent to commit a theft or any felony. The
bill defines "enters" as a person intruding with any part of the body or any physical object
connected with the body. If a person who commits a violation under this provision was in
possession of a firearm at the time or stole a firearm from the motor vehicle during the violation,
he or she is guilty of a class C felony. L.R. No. 0472H.02C
Bill No. HCS for HB 117

The bill also creates the offense of unlawfully gaining entry into a motor vehicle, which a person
commits if he or she lifts the door handles or otherwise tries the doors and locks of successive
vehicles in an attempt to gain entry. A violation of this section is a class E felony. A person does
not commit the offense of unlawfully gaining entry into a motor vehicle if the person is the
owner of the vehicle or has the owner's permission to enter the vehicle.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
